The Peacock Symbol!

Peacock Symbolism

The peacock is a symbol of immortality because the ancients believed
that the peacock had flesh that did not decay after death. As such,
early Christian paintings and mosaics use peacock imagery, and peacock
feathers can be used during the Easter season as church decorations.
This symbol of immortality is also directly linked to Christ.

About Me

I grew up along the South Carolina coast, and attended
Clemson University, where I received a degree in Business Management.Most of my adult life has been spent living
up and down I-85: Greenville/Spartanburg, SC, Atlanta, GA, and currently in
Charlotte, NC.My love of
creating art began in high school with a wonderful art teacher, “Mr. Gore”.I always maintained my love of art
and interior design through the years, but placed “creating” it on hold after
marrying and having two fabulous sons.While living in Atlanta, I decided to pick up the brush again, experimenting
with turning one of my great passions into a career choice.Currently, and for the last several
years I have studied at Braitman Studio in Charlotte with not only an
extremely gifted artist, but also a fabulous friend and mentor, Andy
Braitman.When not painting I enjoy watching my sons play sports, and following my beloved Clemson Tigers and Carolina
Panthers!Also an avid exerciser, I
taught cardio classes for twenty years, and enjoy photography.
